It's key success has to be attributed to the level of support the game has had; with constant events and instances, and the recent Operation: Make Faster Game initiative which has boosted everybodies gaming performance, with seemingly no consequences, Sony Online Entertainment's PlanetSide 2 development team have really been on-point.

PlanetSide 2 is celebrating its anniversary by launching a double XP weekend, from now until November 24th, and are even offering a One-Year Anniversary Bundle. Until November 24th the Anniversary Bundle is being offered for $39.99, down from the items' combined individual value of $143.00.
